A lot of crap has been coming out in the US and a few good ones.
Kubler very good absinthe
Lucid
St. George
Sirene Very diffrent
Everything else in the US I wouldn't bother with. And for 40 you'll only get crap. Buy a bottle of Kubler. http://www.drinkupny.com/Kubler_Absinthe_p/s0465.htm
You're nasty. :r:rAbsinthe is nasty. :tg
You can get the real stuff shipped from France. One guy has made the original recipes and done it first rate. Forget his name, but look online. My friend is into Absinthe. He has the big free standing spout device in silver that pours 4-5 Absinthe drinks at once. It's filled with a liter+ of ice cubes; pretty cool!
What didn't you like about Sirene,jkorp?
thanks for the advice so far...ill have to look around online at a few of these. A friend of mine bought a bottle of this:

I believe it came with the little spoon thing and it had some instructions on how to actually drink it. At first I didnt like it but after a few sips it kinda grew on me. It's deffinately not a drink id have all the time but something i could see myself having a glass of every couple weeks or something...may have to invest in a good bottle of it.

Is Lucid really all that good? I have heard mixed reviews.
